Blizzard
Limited Ship
This ship is a limited ship, and could only be acquired for a limited time or it has since become limited.
You lose it forever once it is destroyed, or otherwise has limited availability on the Limited Build Menu.
The Blizzard is a hull-shredding Carrier given to players on completion of the Ice Monster's Quest from the Christmas Event 2017.
Description
The Blizzard was a part of the Christmas Event 2017. It was the first and only Carrier to have only Dragonflies for its Fighters until they were replaced with its own custom fighters in a later version. The ship was obtained as a reward after completing The Ice Monster's Quest, which has since been removed. Once you lose this ship it is gone, FOREVER! (Unless you lost it to a bug, glitch, or dock-blocking).
Appearance
Contains a rectangle-like seat that looks out into the front of the ship.
Plans
The Blizzard is planning to be completely remodeled by a Roblox user name ObliterationProtocol.
Fighters May also be remodeled.
Plan Designs
The new Blizzard model has not been officially accepted yet, but here are the plans shown below to fix this 2017 ship:
The new model will be around 1 stud tall, a super-flat ship with forcefield fighter bays. These forcefield bays hold Hypothermia, the new fighter model that is also yet to be accepted.
The borders of the Blizzard will have neon on them, similar to the Zillavik.
The Blizzard will feature very low blindspots, for a new turret position balancing.
Turrets may stay the same.
Advantages
- Obliterates hull with its 8 Medium Flak Cannons.
- Fast Fighters, useful for distracting Starbase Turrets.
- Has no blind spots.
- Can compete with small ships due to lack of blind spots and Flak Cannons.
- Can stay in maximum turret range with its Heavy Laser.
- Extremely high speed for a Carrier, surpassing almost all other carriers and Dreadnoughts.
Disadvantages
- Bad positioning means not all Turrets can target at once.
- Fighters lack strength in health and firepower.
- Lackluster damage at long range.
- Lacks in Shield damage.
- No Spinals.
- Limited event ships are often targeted by Pirates and are often seen as a prize kill.
Strategy
- Warp in, release Fighters, warp out, and wait until the base is hulled to finish the job.
- Make sure you have a team that will listen to you and pilot the fighters.
- If your target is hulled, your Medium Flak Cannons can rapidly finish them off.
Version History
- The ship was renamed due to the quest being broken.
- Received a remodel in .61e.
- Received several changes in .65b. including a health buff that buffed Shield from 2500 to 3750, and Hull from 2000 to 4500. Its Flak Cannons were replaced with Dual Cannons. The fighters replaced with IceFyres.
- Cannons reverted to Flak Cannons in version .65b.
- Health increased from 3750/4500 to 8000/5000 in version .68d.
- Hull increased to 9000, turret loadout changed to 2 Frosty Flak Cannons, 2 Frosty Dual Medium Lasers, 2 Frosty Dual Medium Cannons, 2 Frosty Triple Heavy Cannons and 1 Frosty Triple Heavy Laser in an unknown version (only revealed in-game).
Trivia
- This was the first Christmas Event 2017 limited ship.
- Was the only carrier to exclusively have Dragonflies.
- The Blizzard was originally named the Snowstorm, but the name was changed.
- Due to the name of the ship being changed, the error message "This model is too big for Roblox to handle" was displayed as a placeholder. This has since been fixed.
- Many players sold the Blizzard to gain more Credits; however, most of them didn't realize that it was gone forever.
- The second holiday-themed event ship that was obtained through a quest, the first being the Reaper.
- Currently, the Blizzard is worth more credits than the Reaper.
- The second event Carrier, the first being the Ghoul Nyx.
- This ship cannot be sold, but it's value is about 527k.
- Funny enough, back in the days when this was available, the ship was deemed weak and so it was sold by a lot of the people who got it back then, for about 40k.
- The remodeled version has an orb at the front of the ship, similar to the Vansnova, Reaper, and the Grim.
- The original Blizzard model was meant to be a Revelation remodel made by ARiNA.
- The original model resembles the Damocles from Rebel Galaxy.
- Currently the rarest event carrier in the game.
